Mitch Moreland hit a two-out home run off Brooks Punders in the bottom of the ninth to help the Texas Rangers win in walk-off fashion over the Kansas City Royals, 2-1.

The Royals led 1-0 after the first inning when Alcides Escobar came home on an Eric Hosmer groundout.

Kansas City has now dropped eight of its last nine games. The Royals went 7-19 in July, their worst month since recording the same record in July 2012.

Rougned Odor looks to rough up Kansas City pitching for the third consecutive game when his Texas Rangers host the Royals on Saturday in the third contest of their four-game set.

Moreland's two-run homer was his 18th this season, the last five coming within 16 at-bats.

Right-hander Lucas Harrell went six innings and gave up three runs on four hits topick up the win in his Rangers debut.

"More than anything else, what we saw this weekend is when we get quality starts. we have an opportunity to utilize our bullpen the way we need to", Texas manager Jeff Banister said.

"I'm not a savior", said Harrell, who won for the first time in his career at Globe Life Park.

"Just waiting for it to pick up", manager Ned Yost said. Banister will always be the man to answer those questions, and he seemed pleased but unsurprised by Harrell's Rangers debut. Moreland singled to start the seventh and scored on Hanser Alberto's double to the left-field corner to give the Rangers a 5-3 lead.

"That's what we needed in that spot to allow our offense to get in the dugout and put some runs on the board. It's just not happening". The Rangers also get a boost in the fact that over the last two plus months of the season the Rangers play 31 home games, where the club is 33-17. Gee said the scouting report on Moreland was to pitch him down and in. The Royals released Triple-A Omaha OF Travis Snider.
